Leiwand!!!!

Hallo!!!! It's me again. This week has been pretty interesting. We didn't get a lot of lessons because there were a lot of problems with our investigators. Asmie Eristol, a Haitian girl, moved to a different apartment. Julian, our favorite talkative Polish man hasn't been able to meet or come to church because he has been sick. Our investigator Ivan from Chile works three jobs and studies at the Universitat Wien but he DID come to institute! He's cool. We got some new potential investigators. Two are a couple with a 40 year age difference, he is from Austria and she is from Serbia. They smoke and have a ton of stuff in their apartment but they let us in when it was raining outside. Our last new investigator is a Catholic liturgy professor at the Universitat Wien. He referred himself at the temple visitors center in San Diego. He apparently travels the world finding the differences in Catholic liturgy among different congregations and languages. He speaks German and English. We seem to teach of Auslanders, it would be nice if the Austrian people would be a bit more open to the church like our liturgy professor friend. A little bit about Elder Foremaster, he is from Northern Utah, Ogden area and he has a ton of family pictures! He is not the biggest classical music appreciator however we are united in our mutual love of the German musical Rudolph and we rock out to "Weg in die Zunkunft". He has served a lot in Austria. He spent a lot of time in Salzburg and Innsbruck. He also served in Neuotting and Ingolstadt. He is 4 or so months away from from going home and is very ready but he is always reminding himself that he has a lot more to go and he can't just give up now. He's pretty good at just talking to people on the street. It is still great to be here and I'm still having a lot of fun and it's always Wien Wien nur du Allein in my head. I hope everything is going great at home and people are happy and that it's all puppy dogs, unicorns and rainbows. Until next time, Tschuss!
